## Abstract Physostigmine, an alkaloid from calabar bean is a strong inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase (Ki=3.33 ± 0.26 × 10^−6^M) and has been used clinically in the treatment of glaucoma, atropine intoxication, myasthenia gravis and more recently, in experimental trials in Alzheimer's disease. In

✦ Synopsis
1 1C]-Methylchloroformate, a novel [ 1 lcl-acylating agent, was generated in situ from [11C]-methanol and phosgene. To explore the utility of [11C]-methylchloroformate, this agent was reacted with several amines to yield their corresponding [I 1C]-labeled methylcarbamates. The average synthesis (including purification and formulation) required approximately 23 minutes from end of bombardment. The average specific activity was calculated to be approx. 607 mCi/pmole at end of synthesis with an average radiochemical yield of 6%, decay corrected to starting [I 1C]-methanol. Preliminary results reveal that [ I 1C]methylchloroformate is a useful general reagent for the preparation of [11C]-methyl carbamates of both primary and secondary amines.
